Hey there, this is Tom from the future. I'm whispering because time travel requires whispering.

I don't know if you've listened to the newest episodes in order to find this out, but with the holidays here, there is a brand new thing that Patreon is doing where you can gift subs, which is really cool because that means a few different things.

First of all, if you know somebody else who enjoys this show, you can get them a sub

to whatever tier you want for whatever amount of time.

So if you look at certain rewards and you think it would be really cool to get them those

rewards or just being part of the community or even just getting ad-free episodes, that's

something you can give this holiday season.

Also, it means that if you've been wanting to sign up for the Patreon and you haven't been

able to and you want to ask for it as a gift from somebody else, then that can work as well.

So both of those things are options.

All that you have to do is go to Patreon, log in, or create an account.

You can just create a free account.

You have to sign up with anybody, anyone's Patreon.

And then you go to the Patreon page for this show and you choose to gift a thing.

You go through all the little options and you send them a gift.
